Mamma mia!

St James Theatre, Wellington 13 – 31 August, 2025

Get ready to say “I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do!” to the smash-hit jukebox musical based on the songs of Swedish super-group ABBA, with the party getting started at the St James Theatre on Wednesday, 13 August for a strictly limited season. 

This sunny, funny, international phenomenon unfolds on a Greek island paradise when, on the eve of her wedding, a young woman’s quest to discover the identity of her father brings three men from her mother’s past back to the island they last visited 20 years ago.

With music & lyrics by Benny Andersson & Björn Ulvaeus, MAMMA MIA! is written by Catherine Johnson and features non-stop laughs and explosive dance numbers, set to ABBA’s hit songs including Super Trouper, Dancing Queen, Knowing Me, Knowing You; Take a Chance on Me, Thank You for the Music, Money, Money, Money; The Winner Takes It All and SOS.

Over 70 million people all around the world have fallen in love with the characters, the story and timeless music that makes MAMMA MIA! the ultimate feel-good show. It’s been translated into 16 different languages and in 2011 it became the first Western musical ever to be staged in Mandarin in the People’s Republic of China. MAMMA MIA! became the 8th longest running show in Broadway history where it played a record-breaking run for 14 years. 

The announcement follows hard on the heels of the producers’ critically-acclaimed season of Queen’s We Will Rock You that closed yesterday and sell-out seasons of Wicked and Les Miserables, and promises to be the biggest party of the year.
